Oh damn! speaking about volumes of books anyone remember how bulky the world
book encyclopaedia was? Needless to say, noone kept any of those for
themselves. Oh and you think volumes of Braille books are bad how about if
they were in grade one Braille or actually remember when they used to have
books with raised print. That was before my time and probably yours but the
local library a few miles from my house has a few raised print books for
display and they are huge. I don't even remember what they are but I was
told they are for kids. So they must be short stories and for those to be
huge is a trip!

I don't have room for anything anymore, I have no space at all here anymore.
I honestly don't know what I'd do with volumes of braille books around. My
closet is jam packed even after I cleaned it out and have a lot on ebay and
other sites for sale, it's still bad.
